WILL BECKS STAY?

admin Uncategorized

Paris St Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti has said that he wants the former England midfielder, David Beckham, to remain at the club beyond this season. Despite coming to the end of his career, Beckham still remains as one of the most wanted players in the world due to several aspects like marketing potential. The arrival of the 37-year-old has also given PSG a massive boost in the French league title race, as they have managed to extend their lead to 5 points in recent weeks. The former LA Galaxy man signed only a six month deal back in January.

His entire salary of around £ 1 million would be given to charity. Ancelotti, who has been at PSG for more than a year, has said that he would be happy to see that can extend his stay at the club, but it is a decision that he cannot make. He has urged the club and the player to come to an agreement that will see Beckham extending his deal. Beckham was recently in China as part of the PR agreement, which would have been a problem for many managers. However, Ancelotti has said that he has an incredible squad that would allow him to replace Beckham without a major problem.

He has also said that the marketing commitments were made before the player signed for PSG, and the club knew that they were going to lose the player for a couple of weeks.

“Extend his contract for another year? The decision has to be taken by the club, the player and the coach. But I am for it. There’s no problem at all. Everyone agreed to let him go there and he had made those commitments before signing for PSG,” said Ancelotti, whose team will be facing the Spanish giants Barcelona in the Champions league.

Playing football themed games

There is no question that football is more popular now than it has ever been, with more families attending matches – thanks to the better facilities and all-seater stadiums – and a genuine global interest in leagues like the English Premiership – due mainly to the presence in it of star players from all countries and the screening of matches live across the world.

However, although this has been beneficial to football in lots of ways, it is hard to dispute that something has also been lost – something those who were fans before the 1990s will be particularly aware of. It is these fans who could find a video slots game like Shoot fits the bill pretty nicely.

For instance, although to some the name ‘Shoot’ that this slots game has been given, will not mean much beyond being a generalised football reference, but for older British fans it will instantly conjure up memories of the famous magazine of the same name. The game is billed as taking you back to “football’s golden era”, and this is backed up by the Trade’em up and Magazine bonus games. Read more “Playing football themed games”

WENGER WANTED VILLA

admin Uncategorized

The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he has been disappointed with the failure to sign the Barcelona striker David Villa after the Spanish club categorically said that the striker is not for sale. The former Valencia man is currently frustrated after a spell on the sidelines. He has not been a first-team regular under the management of Tito Vilanova, despite having completely recovered from the tibia fracture he suffered almost a year ago. As a result, Villa has clearly stated that he would like to leave Barcelona in the January transfer window in order to get regular first-team football.

However, Barcelona have been unwilling to sell the player due to lack of replacements. There has been a feeling that Arsenal needed another striker in order to compete with the club challenging for the top four positions. The lack of a goal scorer to replace Robin van Persie has been sorely felt by the team this season. Villa is one of the renowned goal scorers in the world, but Wenger has been unable to get the striker because Barcelona have been adamant that they will not sell the player. Wenger has also said that there is unlikely to be a great deal of movement in the final few days of the transfer window for Arsenal.

“Barcelona do not want to sell David Villa, they have made that very, very clear. What is important is that you bring in people to strengthen your squad or you are strong enough to do nothing. Bringing in anyone is to me what the modern game has become,” said the Arsenal manager. Wenger has also ruled out the possibility of negotiating further with the Spanish club, with whom Arsenal have done plenty of business over the last few seasons. Recently, Alex Song and Cesc Fabregas were sold to the Spanish club by Arsenal.
